Facetec has announced that Mike Rankin, former Director/Registrar of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, will join its executive team as a strategic adviser. Rankin will promote the company’s solutions to major public sector identity-issuing authorities and law enforcement, domestically and internationally.
